BeagleV-Fire

BeagleV® Fire banner

BeagleV®-Fire is a revolutionary SBC powered by the Microchips PolarFire® MPFS025T System on Chip (SoC) with 4x RV64GC Application cores, 1x RV64IMAC monitor/boot core, and FPGA fabric. BeagleV®-Fire opens up new horizons for developers, tinkerers, and the open-source community to explore the vast potential of RISC-V architecture and FPGA technology. It has the same P8 & P9 cape header pins as BeagleBone Black allowing you to stack your favourite BeagleBone cape on top to expand its capability. Built around the powerful and energy-efficient RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) along with its versatile FPGA fabric, BeagleV®-Fire SBC offers unparalleled opportunities for developers, hobbyists, and researchers to explore and experiment with RISC-V technology.
